Then, he did not return, Tess followed him and discovered the subterranean tunnel linked to a hidden corridor, wherein she saw Keith being injured.

AJ discovered the hidden tunnel, then, tried measuring it, believing that it will increase the value of the house. The Mother attacked AJ in that tunnel and he fell into the hole wherein he met Tess.
Writer’s Opinion
The initial act is really good. It has an atmosphere, nuanced, decent acting – mainly from Skarsgard and it is interesting. You do not need to really suspend your disbelief a lot just to allow the movie to shift forward though.
The second act begins well and had improved due to the happenings of the first. This works since it sets the viewers up in the position wherein the audiences are more knowledgeable than the newly commenced characters. It added the tension and the viewer will be interested in whatever direction they would finally take the story.
You will love the way that the first two actors played with a background and personality of the male lead. Leaning and hinting to social stereotypes, however, leaving some clues to the actual intentions. It really worked well. The audience can get the underlying thought of the movie, but it went lost at the end of the movie.
